  • Ah, that's a shame, they placed the barriers on an area around the town that had never had an eruption (just lava).

    Looking at the live videos I have to admit I had to laugh initially, it looks so much like Mother mature just saying FU to our attempts to control her, it stops for the barrier, has a gap, then pops up again just outside town. (Man made lava barrier route (ish - as far as I can see, guessing in the distance, if even built) highlighted - it even left a nice gap for the barrier!)

    I guess it just shows how you can't trust volcanos!

  • Practical Engineering has a lot of civil engineering videos explaining how a lot of the infrastructure we rely on works/was built.

    He uses a lot of well filmed practical demonstrations in his garage to explain the concepts.

  • everyday astronaut has some extremely in depth videos about space and rockets, order by popular and go!

    Not particularly useful in every day life though.

  • Ah, good to know. Book DRM doesn't really have teeth though, so should be reasonably easy to remove?

  • Most houses in the UK have double glazing. Not all (somehow - if there isn't a grant for that there should be!) but by now most have upgraded.

    Triple glazing appears to be getting started, I got a free upgrade to triple when I upgraded!

  • If this was a permanent plug, wouldn't it make sense to have a overlap (flange?) On the inside so it physically wouldn't fit out of the door? They know the pressurisation force is always (hopefully!) Going to be outward.

  • Flying missions to there from Cyprus feels like we are doing it just to show we can, surely that could have been handled much easier by the US carrier...

    I wonder which countries we overflew to do it?

  • Oh look, more really expensive looking electric cars that most can't afford.

    I know it makes sense to start at that end of the market, but damn if it isn't annoying.

  • Fired or quit.... Or moved somewhere else?

  • What does this mean for most users? What features does this allow/improve that they couldn't implement before?

    Do we know why they are doing this if it's so unusual?

    Edit: and is this an Android change or a Google change? Is a particular android version picky about what Linux version it's built on?

  • chrome or firefox?

  • The page doesn't load in Firefox mobile.... That's about right....

  • I would argue that most D&D games are roleplay light - it's MUCH easier to just run a mechanical game than one with lots of roleplay.

    I can give you session after session of dungeon crawling, or low level story stuff, but trying to put together a campaign with good (consistent) characters with motivations and personalities is incredibly difficult.

    The reason you hear about all the roleplay heavy ones (critical role etc, or even stories from other people's campaigns) is because they stand out as being special, exceptionally well done games.

  • The thing about laws, is that all it needs to remove them is another law...

  • Is the market not getting saturated at this point? The non old steam deck is ridiculously cheap.

    How many companies can make this work at a profitable level?

  • Real engineering also did one (actually better than Scott's I think)

  • This is a fancy aerospike engine right? The rotating detinations gives it higher chamber pressure and therefore better ISP or something?

    I will look for the Scott Manley video on this later (I think it was him?) Edit: also a Real Engineering one that explains the aero-spike nozzle

    Anyone have the ISP of this experiment to compare to other engines?

  • The joke is that they are all government surveillance drones 😂
